Zentangle®, Noom, Pico, and My New Tangle, Puffin

I was happy to see Noom show up as the challenge on I am the Diva this morning. I have never felt such a need to try a tangle in the round, what fun it was too. (I admit to having drawn a circle in pencil as a string to work on. Otherwise this would not have wound up in the round!) This is a great tangle to separate other tangles on a tile as well.

I added my newest tangle, Puffin, in the middle. As you can see, this can be worked grid/dot style or totally free form.

The focus tangle on Square One on Facebook is to use Pico by Staub Korn (step-outs only available on Facebook). This is a great tangle that has so many possibilities. I squeezed three into this busy looking tile.

And, just to make sure you're still awake, for fun and color, here's Aquafleur worked over a stencil with Sandy Steen Bartholomew's tangle Buttercup all done in Copic markers.

Thanks so much for stopping by I always enjoy reading your comments. Actually, that's the main reason I do a blog. How about you?

Hi Jean. Thanks for visiting my blog and commenting, appreciate what you thought of it and how to help it. Now, about your Zendala-like presentation: nice boarder with Noom and I see you like to make variations too, like me. Yours is very nice. I like it.

Yes, Duane, I so enjoy seeing what tangles can do besides the obvious. I always enjoy seeing others do that as well. I don't usually have success in trying to push tangles into the round, but I think this one is very easy to use that way.

Love your wonderful Diva Zendala with a well drawn Noom and a beautiful new tangle (I have added Puffin already on my personal legend)The other Zendala is also a real little jewel. Absolutely fabulous colored!

As usual, I like all the tiles you've shared. As you know, I also did Noom in the round and after much trial and error, realized that the line is key---it even makes it much easier in a straighter line orientation. Thanks for sharing Puffin. It looks like a very versatile tangle. Thank you also for the thoughtful comment you left on my Noom "navel gazing" blog post. :)

Jean, I love your wonderful Noom circle. I'd call it a Full Noom. :-D And your Puffin fits in the middle really well, making it a really Full Noom. ;-) I don't know Pico at all, and I'm not on Facebook. But your tile is very interesting with all those variations. And I always like your color work. Your Aquafleur is beatuiful with the circle of Buttercup. Hmmm. I see a pattern here - Circles LOL. The green ribbon in the background really makes the circle stand out. Beautiful tiles all.

LOL, Melena. I love that "A full Noom circle"! It's funny that you should notice circles. I just realized that the cards I am working on this week, my other obsession, are all based on circles! I wonder what that means? Maybe I feel like I'm going in circles?

Noom and your Puffin go so well together! Thank you for sharing the step outs, this is definitely something I'm going to try. I also like your other tiles but, as always, your coloured work is unbelievable.

Nice use of Noom. I have used as a frame and a string but not in the round like this. Puffin reminds me of Assunta. It is made differently but has a similar look. To answer your questions about the eggs, they are not a glossy plastic so the Microns work well on them. It is similar to working on paper. That is why can use colored pencils also. Believe it or not, I got them at ----- Walmart.

I LOVE Puffin! It reminds me of Assunta (the way I do Assunta, anyhow, which is simplified), and Assunta is one of my favorites. I've only played with Puffin a little so far (after seeing it on ONE today), and I can already tell that it is destined for some major usage by me. It's GREAT!
